Piano Minor Chords
Just a Half-Step Away!

If you learned the major chords well, the piano minor chords will be no problem! Here is how you do it: Move the middle note down one-half step.

This is a picture of the "C" minor chord. Remember that "C" major is C E and G? Just move the "E" down one-half step to Eb and you have "C" minor. What could be easier?

For "D" minor, move the "F#" down to F. It works for every major chord. In general, if the major chord has a white key in the middle, the minor chord will have a black key and vice versa.
